      ward just lets his hands go kovalev doesnt. bottom line difference between them.

            Kovalev breaking mentally a little in the second bout definitely paved the way for some exaggeration and romanticising of Wards apparent mastery, for sure, but I believe Ward is the better boxer.

            The first fight was close and the second fight is shrouded in BS...There’s not much that separates them, clearly. Anyone that slates one in favour of the other then, is slating the one they favour equally.

            These guys match up incredibly well. Even if a third fight where to happen we’d still be torn down the middle as fans as to who is better and probably still would be after the last bell regardless of who won.

            This is not too too dissimilar to asking who is the better of Manny and Juan Manuel in this sense.

                Ward adapted half way through the first fight and has shown he's clearly better since then.

                  not to mention (at least IMO) Kov didn't train properly for the first fight. Ward did adapt, but Kov was also gassed. Sure some of that was body punches, but still.

                    Second fight, fight was competitive but Kov was winning until Ward shocked him with a series of bizarre nutshots that led to a "KO".

                    Ward is not better than Kovalev and did not school him, stop with the nonsense.
                    kovalev got beat up in BOTH fights....LOL
